Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 310 # 25 BONUS Finley put on his most sincere expression and said to Atlas, Mr.

Giordano, please give me another chance.

I messed up this time, but I promise you, Ill make it up to you and the Northern District by achieving something that will redeem myself.

Atlas face remained tense, the fury in his eyes unrelenting.

Several Northern District enforcers stepped forward, clasping their hands respectfully.

Mr.

Giordano, Mr.

Moore has admitted his mistake.

Perhaps you could show him some leniency? Thats right, Mr.

Giordano.

Its clear he acted out of foolishness.

Now that hes willing to redeem himself, we think he deserves a chance to prove his loyalty.

Sir, youve always been wise and pragmatic

Its not worth holding onto rage over someone who doesnt deserve your energy.

Consider this as throwing out a worthless piece of trash- its just not worth your time.

Atlas took a deep breath, their words clearly working on him.

As much as he despised Finley at that moment, he could not deny that he still needed the mans contributions

Hence, even though the thought of sparing Finley made his blood boil, Atlas chose to endure it. Dylan and Natasha exchanged concerned glances, both growing uneasy.

They could not believe it.

Was Atlas actually letting this slide ? A man as proud and ruthless as him, tolerating such humiliation? What worried them even more was the risk of Atlas and Finley reconciling.

If they patched things up, their plan to drive a wedge between them would fail completely.

Finley smirked, sensing the shift in the room.

Mr.

Giordano, I was wrong in this matter, he admitted, though his tone carried a hint of smugness. But Dylan and Natasha arent innocent either.

They orchestrated everything from the shadows.

He sneered as he continued, It all started when that woman invited me and... uh, her, to a party in West End

Thats how the trouble began, Natasha let out a sharp laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm

Oh, so let me get this straight -you slept with Atlas woman, and somehow Im to blame? She folded her arms, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

Whats next, Finley? Are you going to claim I control your... impulses too? If thats the case, should I grab a pair of scissors and take care of your problem right now? Her words were as sharp as blades, leaving Finleys face with a twisted look of anger and frustration.

Dylan and Andrew could not help but chuckle, thoroughly amused by her brutal jab.

1/2 Chapter 310 Atlas roared, his voice cutting through the room like thunder.

Enough! This matter ends here

From now on, if anyone dares mention this again, III cut out their tongue and tear their mouth apart! Andrew remained calm, tilting his head slightly.

Mr.

Giordano, thats quite the declaration.

But dont you think its a bit ... excessive ? After all, people have a right to speak.

Atlass eyes turned icy.

Andrew, let me give you some advice.

Stop testing my patience, or youll regret it.

Finley quickly jumped in, a sly grin on his face.

Andrew, Mr.

Giordano and I are friends again.

Whatever youre scheming to drive us apart forget it.

Its not going to work Several Northern District enforcers glared at Andrew, their voices brimming with hostility

Kid, youre asking for trouble.

This is Northern District business.

Stay out of it.

You can run your mouth, but if we rip it off, thats on us.

Andrew shrugged, unfazed.

Youre right I cant take on the entire Northern District by myself.

But theres something I think Mr.

Giordano should know

If he doesnt, it would be an insult to him.

Atlas frowned, clearly intrigued

What did you want to say? Finley immediately sensed danger and tried to stop him.

Mr.

Giordano, dont listen to him.

Hes just trying to stir up trouble lets leave now.

Atlas raised a hand, silencing Finley with a cold glare.

No.

I want to see what trick this kid thinks he can pull .

Having already swallowed the humiliation of the scandal, Atlas felt untouchable now there- was nothing left to fear.
